lol how is that real

mtgox opens in ten hours apparently, going to be a massive crash

Where is your anarcho-capitalist fantasy now?

that possibility was an inherent risk for anyone who bought them and held them this long like an idiot

Freezing a market during a panic is pretty funny.

is this lee westwood's career graph?

transparency is essential for a market to work well. in general, less regulation is better than more, but you have to have market transparency and a stable, centralized way to transact and it doesn't seem like bitcoin has either.

That graph looks like an average sunday during football season for Riverman

Does anyone know of a HH manager(PT4, HEM2, etc.) that supports 5 card omaha hi/lo and courchevel hi/lo?

assani's twitter is exactly what you'd expect it to be

He linked to the Atlanta Hawks though, not the Braves. Not sure what the o/u on expected World Series titles was for the Braves between 1991 - 2005 (?, whenever their run ended) but given the massive variance in playoff baseball I can't imagine it was higher than 3 or 4. Good thing they at least won in 1995 though or they would have crushed the Buffalo Bills in terms of fan frustration.

It's a grass is always greener thing, but I'll take the team that titles and then reverts to irrelevance. In Phoenix we'll always have great memories of the 2001 Series win over the Yankees, but the Suns have had many more chances at a title and long stretches in every decade of their existence where they were good, yet have only made two finals and have tons of what-ifs. It sucks. Plus dickbag fans of competing teams can lol @ u and you really don't have anything to come back with. Even Blazers fans have 1977.

And of course had the Cardinals luckboxed their way to a Super Bowl win in 2009 that would have been the ultimate example of a crappy team catching lighting in a bottle for one year.

Many stock exchanges around the world do this (and in fact so would the U.S. in the event of a steep enough single-day selloff)

edit: standard for grains too

Istanbul, 2005. Cardiff, 2009.

Winning it all lives long in the memories gentlemen. Sustenance that goes a very long way.

yea, the Hawks have easily made the playoffs for like 6 years now and never even had a remote chance of winning it all and the 'nique era was similar. My post was discussing the city as a whole though. The Falcons had never had back to back winning seasons until very recently and still have never won a Super Bowl. We've also had 2 hockey teams that never won and ultimately skipped town whereas Cleveland has only had one team leave (someone correct me if I'm wrong).

Sure. Phoenix and Atlanta are pretty similar I guess, where the Braves = Suns and there's only one title among all the sports teams. At least we have one title to fall back on. It's not much but it's better than Cleveland.

Another similarity is the indifference to our mediocre hockey franchise and constant threats to leave that like five people care about. If they eventually leave it will be one more thing in common.

nba is different since you can be pretty good and make the playoffs but still have no championship equity. right now there are teams locked in the playoffs with longer odds to win than any nfl team besides jax and oak.

agree. I guess the main difference is that the main sports team won the one in ATL and not in Phoenix. ATL is moving toward becoming a NFL city over time though. outside of sports Cleveland still sucks as a place to live which contributes a lot to the torture of the fans imo.

Yeah, and the titles aren't spread around nearly as much. Over an eight year stretch covering most of the 90s only two of the 30 teams or whatever won a title (Chicago and Houston). In the 80s only four teams won, but for most of the decade only two really had much of a chance.

It would certainly be better to be a homer for a frontrunning NBA team than an MLB team knowing that the 162 games is largely meaningless and determines very little.

Yes, but thanks to their misery there is the Cleveland chamber of commerce video or whatever it's called, which is probably among my five favorite youtube videos ever.

this is one of the imbeciles online poker players have their hopes on a federal bill riding on

on global warming:

with april 15th upcoming, let us not forget to heartily and angrily laugh at our gubment

At least we're not Detroit. We're not Detroit!

Nitting re grains. They have price limits, but the action does not freeze and synthetic prices are immediately created using options to continue trade once it is offered limit down or vice versa.

I don't know all the details but is this such a bad thing? This guy probably appeals to the type of people who are against poker in the first place.
